Sohaib,
Your content was great, and your speech was easy to understand.
However, I'd like to make a couple suggestions for future presentations like this.
  1. Remember that technology is only helpful if it helps you reach your goals. For instance, every picture should either help the learner stay focused or communicate something that you can't say without a picture. Many of the really cool images of mobile technology at the beginning of your presentation didn't seem directly connected to what you were saying. 
  2. Use technology to help ALL learners understand your material. You didn't know this about me, for example, but I love music, and I found the music distracting because I was focusing on it instead of on your words. 

Don't worrry. This assignment is a place to try things, and you tried a lot of new things! Keep going with learning the technologies, but never lose sight of the key question of "How can I help students focus, stay motivated, and make applications?"

Looking forward to your next project!
